Asha Ighodaro – Week 13

The Op-Ed article i read was “Here’s what to know about the dangers that go along with hosting Thanksgiving amid surging coronavirus infections: What’s safe? What’s not?” by Keith Grant the op- ed went over ways we could continue the thanksgiving holiday with extended family in a safe manner the entire gist of the op-ed stated that is was all around a bad idea to have any extended family over at your home during this thanksgiving due to the corona virus pandemic and how if in any case you are having extended family over there are many steps you can take in an effort to stay safe for you as well as immediate and extended family. I found this Op-Ed extremely effective because it listed i clear and concise sentences what would be recommended for higher safety, another reason this was very effective is because he had some credibility, in the beginning of the op-ed he wrote that he was “the chief infection prevention officer at Hartford HealthCare,”as well as having a “large extended family” as well despite this as you read through this op-ed he strongly suggest against having extended family over for the holidays. What i didn’t find effective was his saying that public transportation is “moderate to high risk” its definitely extremely risking in this pandemic but i do realize this could depend on what public transportation can look like in his area.
